116: Traitor? Disrespecting teachers and ancestors?

Hearing this voice, Lu Sheng felt a bit unfamiliar, yet it also carried a hint of familiarity.

He seemed to have heard it somewhere before, but at this moment, Lu Sheng really couldn't recall.

However, when Lu Sheng turned his head and saw the owner of the voice, he was stunned.

"Senior... Senior Disciple?"

At this moment, the several Viscera Refining Realm members of the Demonic Cult were also rushing towards Lu Sheng with extreme speed.

Excitement even flickered in their eyes.

Lu Sheng's previously displayed combat power made them feel a bit terrified, but at the same time... there was also a hint of excitement!

What was terrifying was that Lu Sheng's talent was too much of a Prodigy, and what was exciting was... if they could kill Lu Sheng, they would receive generous rewards from the Cult!

Perhaps... it could allow them to advance further!

However, just as they were about to approach Lu Sheng, an extremely terrifying power suddenly erupted between Heaven and Earth.

Boom!!

A muffled thud, as if a bomb had suddenly been dropped at this moment.

The several Viscera Refining Realm Demonic Cult members hadn't even reacted before they were instantly impacted by that extremely terrifying power.

Then... they were instantly killed!!!

They didn't even realize until their deaths, or even react, when this power erupted or who unleashed it.

"What's going on?"

Zhao Changsheng's eyes twitched slightly.

This sudden power, even he hadn't reacted to it.

For a moment, an unsettling emotion suddenly surfaced in his heart.

He looked around and finally, his gaze locked onto Lu Sheng.

To be precise, it should be behind Lu Sheng!

Behind Lu Sheng, a middle-aged man in a linen robe stood quietly, his face filled with a sunny smile.

His entire being gave off an extremely comfortable feeling.

Lu Sheng looked at the middle-aged man before him, surprise in his eyes.

"Senior Disciple, why are you here?"

Facing Lu Sheng's question, Xu Changqing smiled slightly, took a gentle step, and stood in front of Lu Sheng.

"I... am also a student of Star Academy!"

"Now that Star Academy is in trouble, why can't I step forward!"

Lu Sheng was silent for a moment: "But..."

If he remembered correctly, Xu Changqing was only at the Qi Blood Realm.

Although he had told the other party the method to break through the Qi Blood limit, how much time had passed since then?

More than a month?

Even with his System, he had only broken through from the initial Blood Refinement Realm to his current Realm.

Even if Xu Changqing had broken through the Realm after he told him the method to break the limit.

It couldn't have improved so quickly!

Then, what difference would Xu Changqing coming out make compared to himself?

However... looking at the Viscera Refining Realm Demonic Cult members who were suddenly slain, Lu Sheng fell into silence again.

For some reason, looking at the figure of his Senior Disciple, Lu Sheng suddenly felt that he seemed to be unable to see through the other party anymore.

"Star Academy, since when has it been your turn, a bunch of nobodies, to harass it?"

Suddenly, Xu Changqing, who was standing in front of Lu Sheng, slowly spoke.

And with Xu Changqing's words, an invisible force seemed to erupt instantly between Heaven and Earth.

Boom!!!

A booming sound came from the entrance of the entire Star Academy.

And within this booming sound, an extremely terrifying energy fluctuation permeated, as if a bomb had suddenly been dropped.

In an instant, one could see that those Demonic Cult members were instantly severely injured by that booming sound.

Whether it was Bone Forging Realm Martial Artists, or those of the Hundred Meridian, Blood Refinement, or even Qi Blood Realm Demonic Cult members.

All of them were affected!

Even Zhao Changsheng, who was fighting Zhang Tianfang, was hit by some powerful force amidst this booming sound, and finally, he was sent flying backward.

"This..."

Lu Sheng stood behind Xu Changqing, watching this scene, his pupils couldn't help but contract slightly.

He clearly hadn't seen Xu Changqing make a move, yet such terrifying power had erupted.

"Senior Disciple!!"

At this moment, Zhang Tianfang and Bai Ming also reacted. They looked at the Demonic Cult members severely injured by Xu Changqing, and were also stunned, their expressions towards Xu Changqing somewhat complicated.

They had also been at Star Academy for such a long time, so they naturally knew of Xu Changqing's existence.

However... in their impression, this person was clearly the negative example of Star Academy!

But now... Xu Changqing's appearance seemed to have become the savior of Star Academy.

He easily crushed the Demonic Cult's attack.

"Holy cow, who is this guy! Could he be a hidden expert of the Academy?"

"So powerful!!"

Long Tianxing held a small golden hammer, and brilliance flickered in his eyes as he looked at Xu Changqing.

That kind of gaze... was one of admiration!!

Gu Yun and the other three didn't know of Xu Changqing's existence, so when they saw this scene, their first reaction was that Xu Changqing was a top expert hidden in Star Academy.

"Cough cough cough!!"

On the ground, Zhao Changsheng clutched his chest and coughed violently.

A mouthful of fresh blood instantly spurted out.

Immediately after, his entire aura also rapidly weakened.

His face became incredibly grim, and he stared intently at Xu Changqing: "Who are you!! All the main forces of Star Academy have already gone to Tianxing Great Wall, why does Star Academy still have someone like you!!"

Zhao Changsheng roared, he was truly unwilling.

According to Wang Mu's plan, this invasion of alien demons had directly triggered the special alert for Tianxing City.

Under the special alert, all the main forces of Star Academy had to go to Tianxing Great Wall to prevent Tianxing Great Wall from being invaded by alien demons.

At most, only a few students would be left to guard Star Academy.

And this was his best opportunity.

But precisely... within Star Academy, there was still someone like Xu Changqing!

Clearly... Zhao Changsheng stared intently at Xu Changqing, he could clearly feel that Xu Changqing's aura was extremely weak.

But precisely... that power made Zhao Changsheng feel a sense of dread.

Xu Changqing glanced at Zhang Tianfang and Bai Ming, and said softly: "You've worked hard, from now on, leave it to me!"

Zhang Tianfang and Bai Ming exchanged glances, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to retreat, standing behind Xu Changqing.

"Senior Disciple Zhang, Senior Disciple Bai, who is this person? Is he a hidden expert of our Star Academy?"

Long Tianxing pulled Zhang Tianfang and asked.

Zhang Tianfang looked at Xu Changqing's back standing there, his expression incredibly complex: "He... is our Senior Disciple!!"

Long Tianxing didn't seem to notice Zhang Tianfang's complex expression, but after hearing Zhang Tianfang's words, his expression was slightly joyful.

"Hehe, I knew the Academy wouldn't let this bunch of trash from the Demonic Cult in so easily, sure enough, the Academy still has hidden experts!!"

Long Tianxing seemed to have seen through something, a little excited.

Although Gu Yun and the other three didn't say anything, their thoughts were probably the same as Long Tianxing's, treating Xu Changqing as a hidden expert of Star Academy.

Only Lu Sheng, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, looked at Xu Changqing's back.

He... seemed to be less and less able to see through his Senior Disciple.

This... underachiever of Star Academy!

Xu Changqing stood quietly outside the gate, his gaze calmly fixed on Zhao Changsheng. Although Zhao Changsheng's eyes towards him were full of venom, Xu Changqing still gave off an extremely refined and gentle feeling.

"You are merely a pawn, let the person behind you come out!"

"You are not qualified enough to want to release the thing suppressed in the Academy!"

Xu Changqing spoke softly.

Zhao Changsheng's pupils, however, suddenly contracted at this moment.

This guy... this guy actually guessed their intentions!

He even knew that someone was behind him.

For a moment, Zhao Changsheng didn't know what to say.

Facing Xu Changqing's gentle gaze, Zhao Changsheng felt extremely uncomfortable.

And at this moment, a soft laugh suddenly echoed on the street.

“Senior… long time no see!”

A sudden voice rang out in everyone’s ears.

Everyone’s bodies trembled slightly, and they suddenly looked in the direction from which the voice came.

They saw a young man in a white tracksuit, squinting, holding a bottle of carbonated drink in his hand, slowly walking over on the empty street, having appeared there at some unknown time.

“This guy is…”

Lu Sheng looked at the white-clothed youth, his brows furrowing slightly.

He always felt that Wang Mu looked very much like someone he had seen before.

But at this moment, he couldn’t quite remember.

“So it’s you!”

Xu Changqing looked at the newcomer, a look of sudden realization appearing on his face, then he smiled slightly.

“That’s right, only you would know Tianxing City so well. This kind of thing… if anyone else appeared before me, I might find it a bit strange, but if it’s you…”

“Then everything makes sense.”

Xu Changqing’s entire demeanor seemed extremely calm, as if he hadn’t been disturbed by the other party’s appearance.

However, while Xu Changqing showed no emotional fluctuations, Zhang Tianfang and Bai Ming’s chests were heaving at this moment.

“It’s this traitor!!”

Bai Ming stared intently at the white-clothed youth, his gaze as if he wanted to devour the other party.

Although Zhang Tianfang was a bit more composed than Bai Ming, he also showed an angry expression when he saw the white-clothed youth.

“Senior, do you know this guy?”

Long Tianxing looked at Zhang Tianfang and Bai Ming with some confusion.

He didn’t understand why, as soon as this white-clothed youth appeared, their emotions suddenly became a bit off.

“Hmph!”

“Just a traitor of the Academy!”

“To gain greater power, this guy… this guy killed the teacher who taught him for three years and joined the Demonic Sect!!”

“Betraying his teacher and destroying his ancestors, betraying the Academy, such a person deserves to be struck down by heaven and earth!!”

Bai Ming sneered.

Bai Ming’s voice was very loud, so much so that the white-clothed youth also heard Bai Ming’s words.

A hint of dimness flashed in the white-clothed youth’s eyes, but it quickly returned to calm, and his gaze fell on Bai Ming.

In an instant, although it was the most ordinary gaze, Bai Ming felt as if he was being stared at by a primeval beast.

An extremely strong sense of crisis instantly enveloped his heart.

It was as if the owner of that gaze could directly destroy him with a single thought.

So much so that Bai Ming’s body couldn’t help but tremble at this moment.

“Some things, you know, but you can’t say them, otherwise…”

“I don’t mind adding a few more lives of Star Academy students to my hands!”

The white-clothed youth spoke indifferently, and as his voice fell, the temperature of the entire world seemed to drop a few degrees.

Cold sweat secreted from Bai Ming’s forehead, but a stubborn look appeared in his eyes.

“You traitor, if you have the guts, kill me!!”

Bai Ming forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and roared.

So much so that his eyes at this moment became somewhat bloodshot due to the pressure.

A cold glint flashed in the white-clothed youth’s eyes.

“You were a Senior after all. Whatever abilities you have, don’t take it out on the youngsters, come at me!”

Xu Changqing slowly spoke at this moment. He calmly looked at Wang Mu, seemingly unaffected by what the other party had done.

Hearing this, the cold glint in the white-clothed youth’s eyes slowly dissipated, and his gaze fell back on Xu Changqing.

He looked at Xu Changqing, as if recalling something, then suddenly smiled.

“Speaking of which, it was Senior who watched me enter the Academy back then. Is it really worth it to waste so much time just to pursue an ethereal Realm?”

Xu Changqing smiled faintly: “Whether it’s worth it or not, isn’t there already an answer now?”

The smile on the white-clothed youth’s face immediately disappeared, replaced by a look of solemnity.

“You broke through? Impossible! If you broke through, you wouldn’t be like this now!!”

The white-clothed youth stared intently at Xu Changqing, then his brows gradually relaxed.

“So you just broke through. What a pity, but I must congratulate Senior, you’ve finally gotten rid of your Heart Demon!”

Xu Changqing shook his head: “I couldn’t have done it to this extent, I still owe it to the help of others!”

The white-clothed youth’s eyes narrowed slightly, he gave Xu Changqing a deep look, then swept his gaze over Lu Sheng and the others.

Especially when he looked at Lu Sheng, his gaze paused for a few moments.

Immediately after, as if he understood something, he suddenly smiled slightly at Lu Sheng.

“Speaking of which, my good-for-nothing younger brother fell into your teacher’s hands. I didn’t expect us two to meet today!”

The white-clothed youth’s words made Lu Sheng’s pupils contract slightly.

His younger brother fell into his teacher’s hands?

For a moment, Lu Sheng’s mind began to race, and finally… an answer emerged from Lu Sheng’s mind.

Wang Lin!!

The first Disciple he met at Heaven and Earth Martial Hall!

But this guy turned out to be a member of the Demonic Sect, and in the end, he failed to scheme against Kong Yunchang and was taken away by the Great Xia government officials.

Lu Sheng had felt that this guy was extremely familiar before, but he just hadn’t remembered, and now… he had an answer.

“Speaking of which, besides Senior Xu, everyone here is my junior!”

The white-clothed youth looked at everyone with a smile.

“Let me introduce myself, I am Wang Mu, a student of the thirty-fifth batch of Star Academy!”

Wang Mu’s voice slowly fell.

Gu Yun and the other three instantly looked stunned.

And when Bai Ming and Zhang Tianfang heard these words, their faces showed even more anger.

Even Zhao Changsheng was completely bewildered when he heard this sentence.

Wang Mu is a student of Star Academy???

What the hell?

Zhao Changsheng seemed to have discovered a new continent, and his heart suddenly became active.

As for Lu Sheng… Wang Mu’s words had already stirred up waves in Lu Sheng’s mind.

Wang Mu!!

A student of the thirty-fifth batch of Star Academy!!

Lu Sheng had seen this name!

On the one hundredth step of the Heart-Questioning Steps, Lu Sheng had clearly seen this name!!

In an instant, Lu Sheng suddenly looked at Wang Mu, who was looking at him with a smile, harmless to humans and animals.

At the same time, a question also arose in Lu Sheng’s mind.

If the other party was really the person he had seen who left his name on the one hundredth step of the Heart-Questioning Steps, why had he now become a member of the Demonic Sect?

Lu Sheng knew very well that the Heart-Questioning Steps, if one had no sense of belonging to Great Xia and no aversion to the alien demons, it would be extremely difficult to pass the test of the Heart-Questioning Steps, let alone reach the one hundredth step.

It could be said that as long as one passed the test of the Heart-Questioning Steps, it was basically impossible to betray Great Xia.

But why… Lu Sheng met Wang Mu’s smiling gaze, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be a fog shrouding him.

“Alright, the introductions are over, let’s get down to business now!”

Wang Mu opened the carbonated drink in his hand, took a sip, then casually threw it aside, stretched, and looked at Xu Changqing with a smile.

“If I can’t unseal the Demon Venerable suppressed by Star Academy, it will be very difficult for me to report back when I return!!”

“Senior, you certainly don’t want your junior to return unable to complete his task, do you!”

Wang Mu smiled. If one didn’t know what the other party had done, one might even think that Xu Changqing and Wang Mu had a very good relationship.

Facing Wang Mu’s words, Xu Changqing suddenly smiled.

He smiled with some joy.

But afterwards, he gently shook his head.

“If you dare to take another step, I will…”

“Crippled you!”
